A well-presented first-floor maisonette offering compact, ready-to-move-in accommodation and its own private rear garden. The flat has two double bedrooms, a generous reception room and a modern fitted kitchen and shower room, making it a sensible option for a first purchase or buy-to-let. Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating with a new Worcester Bosch boiler fitted in 2025, double glazing and a long lease of approximately 932 years with a peppercorn ground rent and no service charge (buyer should verify with solicitor).
Set on the popular Davis Estate, the location gives easy access to the A229 and A2/M2 for commuting and is close to well-rated primary and secondary schools, local shops and transport links. The rear garden is a standout feature for a first-floor flat — a private, well-maintained outdoor space approximately 68' x 16'. Broadband and mobile signal are good and the area is classified as affluent with low flood risk.
Size is the trade-off: the maisonette totals about 472 sq ft (approx 43.8 m2), so rooms are compact and storage is limited. The building dates from the 1930–1949 period and cavity walls are uninsulated as built (assumed), so buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency may consider upgrades. Overall, this is a tidy, affordable property for buyers seeking low immediate maintenance and strong local amenities, but those needing larger living space should note the modest footprint.
